After 4 days in the hospital with the colon infection and some antibiotics treatment via I.V. I walked home, I was fine. All I needed was to have 7 x 500mg in coming week. After three days and 3 of 500mg Levaquin pills very itchy reddish rash developed in a day all over my entire back where I have solid areas , bottom, parts of the arms and upper chest and neck where I have dense spots.. I used the Witch hazel and Aloe Vera Mist (no help) till I’ve got hold of the Triamcinolone Acetonide Cream. No help yet in last 4 hours. I’ll try Calamine lotion next. Boy it itches I didn’t sleep all night. I never had any allergies before.

After 3x500mg via I.V. and 3 pills of Levaquin I did stop taking it but the rash did take over even the front of my torso in next day..Then it stopped and was gone in two days! I switched to Palgyl. . .not as powerful.
